Chelsea linked with brand new centre back name ahead of transfer deadline | OneFootball

Chelsea have been linked with a brand new centre back name ahead of the transfer deadline day this coming Monday.

The Blues have been looking at signing new centre backs now for the last month, as it appears to be the one position that new head coach Liam Rosenior wants to sign in. Will Chelsea manage to get one in and sort this out for the new manager? Time will tell.

EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea have two options for new centre back in before the transfer window closes!

They’ve been battling all month to sign Rennes centre back Jeremy Jacquet, but that one seems to be very tough to pull off, even if they do still seem to be trying to get it done.

Nobody knows what is going to happen there and at the moment, it’s hanging on a bit of a knife edge.

So, will Chelsea turn to other options? Do they even have other options? We have rarely heard about any backup plans should they not be able to get Jacquet done. But perhaps this is one….

Chelsea in for Natan?

Chelsea and Manchester United are reportedly set to battle Real Madrid for 24-year-old Real Betis star Natan.

Chelsea have moved to the front of an increasingly competitive race for Real Betis centre-back Natan.

According to Fichajes, Chelsea have emerged as the most proactive suitor so far. The London club see Natan as an ideal fit for their long-term defensive rebuild and have intensified their scouting and background work in recent weeks.

Probably nothing in this

The source isn’t a top level source so probably just take this one with a pinch of salt. I can’t see there being much in this. Perhaps Chelsea have scouted him, sure. But they seem to be all in for Jacquet right now so I don’t see them pivoting to another target.
